Just another ploy to get his face on the news! I have never seen a president on TV as much as he is.

He is doing his chiropractor degree while he is in the White House so he can find employment in a few years.

Not sure about that picture. The attack looks pretty tame compared to the treatment the NHS Death Panel would have meted out to him, if was British.

Was that in Britain, do you mean? Part of the Spending Review?

Yes, Britain. No, it was just a NHS nurse. But the guy had been suspicious of poor performance and was monitoring his bedside care with a video camera.

OMG I read the story. Can you imagine, not just having that terrible disability, but being so totally helpless in the face of possible incompetence like someone pulling the wrong plug.. and he'd actually anticipated the possibility. Very sobering. I feel so sorry for him & his loved ones.

And me. :(
No, it would be a complete horror show, to not trust the people your very life depended on.

Mind you, I'd still like to have the problem of worrying about a home health care worker, not that that will ever happen here in my lifetime. :(

Definitely not a joke. On forums like BE, it is a rule that jokes have to be flagged with an emoticon. Otherwise the offending Member is severely sanctioned.
